SturmWulf (63), USA Aug 10, 2007 Updated: Sep 1, 2007Medium Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and caramel, very light touch of vanilla.
Poured black, with a nice foamy. semi-creamy tan head that very slowly receded into a thin cream cap. Left good lacing. Taste of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, a touch of burn malt, caramel, dark chocolate, very light hint of vanilla. Body is light to medium, texture is very creamy, slightly softer than average carbonation, a nice dry bittersweet finish. I really liked this stout! Excellent job by Samuel Adams.
The only criticism is I like the body to be a touch heavier and the aroma a bit more robust. However, this is one excellent beer and I am definitely adding this to my favorite rotation of beer. Served in a Pint. dubbaman (2), kenmore, New York, USA does not count Nov 23, 2007 This beer pours black with a vary large head that does not diminish very quickly. The aroma is amazing, but the taste is even better. chocolate is the first flavor , followed by a nice unique cream flavor that lasts in the mouth. the only thing lacking from this beer is its body. It definitly feels a little watered down in the mouth, just slightly, if they could give it just a LITTLE more body, this beer would be perfect. gotebo (11), carnegie, Oklahoma, USA Dec 28, 2003 If it gets any better than this, I'd sure like to try it. My only complaint is that it tends to become a bit watery at the end of the glass. baseballguy (246), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Aug 19, 2001 One of my two favorite beers for everyday drinking (the other being Newcastle). A great way to end the day. Jason86Z2899 (2), USA does not count Jan 9, 2003 Quite possibly the best chocolate stout in existence. If you’re a Guinness fan, and want something a little different, pick up some Creme Stout. This stuff is actually thicker than Guinness too!
